Remember me talking about kitting up projects to work on this winter? This is one of them. I have a lot of homespuns in browns, golds, greens, reds, and blues. This particular set is all browns/golds. I used the larger tumbler Accuquilt die to make fast work of cutting. The alternate is muslin I had setting around also.
This was an easy project that only took 3 short afternoons to sew up. I didn't use all the homespuns that I cut so they will be future seed for another someday;)
Two more pair of slippers knitted. I used three strands of sportweight yarn and a size 8 needle for these. The pair on the left were two shades of blue and a green. The pair on the right were blue, green and aqua. It's fun to mix the colors to see what they turn out like.
Your homespun is so pretty and cozy!
ReplyDeletecute slippers and neat tumblers I have that die too
ReplyDeleteGood Friday morning!! It's always nice to see a post from you. Homespuns! I have a whole tote full of them, just begging to be used. Thanks for the inspiration. And your knitted slippers! Those are just the best. I had a pair growing up and they always kept my feet nice and snuggly. What a great way to keep your hands busy in the evening in a productive and worthy end result. Hope you're doing well! {{Hugs}} a bunch, my friend. ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteTumbler is a fantastic way to show off those homespun plaids. Excellent choice.
ReplyDeleteI have a bin of homespuns that I'm waiting for the right place to use them. Love your tumblers.
ReplyDeleteSweet! Those slippers are so fun in various colors! Great use of plaids!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt Vicki! I might have to pull out my tumbler die. Cute slippers
ReplyDeleteI love those cozy colors in your tumbler quilt, and those slippers are so pretty in those colors!
ReplyDeleteThe material looks like it is similar to mens shirts, interesting design!
ReplyDeleteI love seeing how your kitted projects are coming together. I go on my annual retreat and did not get to kitting, but I am sure it will be ok! Love the warm slippers too, 3 strands is a great idea.
ReplyDeleteI like your homespun tumblers. What a great top and those slipper colors are terrific!--TerryK@OnGoingProjects
ReplyDeleteThat's a pretty and cozy quilt top, Vicki! Your tumblers go together so perfectly - that's impressive. The only time I tried tumblers, I couldn't figure out how to line them so they were wonky and I gave up!
ReplyDeleteHow do you finish the edge of the tumblers quilt? Do you just cut it straight? Or do you actually finish it with all those points?
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, those slippers remind me of my mother. She used to make those for us when we were kids.
ReplyDeleteOh I love the homespun tumblers. They made a nice size quilt.
ReplyDeleteLovely homespuns! I'm wondering how you'll finish that edge. Can't wait to see. Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.
